In a conversation with the Attorney General, the Chief Justice said that the government cannot make a judge sit on the bench according to its will, we asked the question, it is written in 184B that there should be a bench of at least five judges, if you had consulted us, we would have told you.

Justice Umar Ata Bandial remarked that in the law related to the powers of the Supreme Court, the government has asked to form benches of five judges, in the new law, more than five benches have been asked to be formed for appeal, we lack the number of judges.

On which the Attorney General said in a dialogue with the Chief Justice that all these issues can be resolved, then the Chief Justice remarked that if the government solves the problems, we will also give relief.
Justice Umar Ata Bandial said we realize that you are the lawyer of the Government of Pakistan, all institutions should get full respect,
this is not all about Ego, the Constitution talks about the distribution of powers, the judiciary is not part of the federal government, we are talking about the Constitution, not Anna.
